Wubi 7.04 and RAID0

[brian_rbk]

Just installed wubi and tried to boot up ubuntu but it wont work. When i select Ubuntu at the startup its starts to load then says ...


"[ 10.178482] Buffer I/O error on device sda2, logical block 615112576 "

this is repeated several times with different values.

I assume this is because im using raid0. Is there anything else i can do to get ubuntu installed?

I'll have a look, it would help if you could find what device is normally used when you mount the raided partition. You can use a live CD, mount the partition and then look in "mount" to find out the device.

I have the live cd running... how do i mount the partition ?

[brian_rbk]

dont know if this would be anyhelp but when i enter sudo fdisk -l into the terminal i get ...

Disk /dev/sda: 160.gb 160000000000 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19452 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a vaild partition table

What is your raid setup?

[brian_rbk]

the startup screen says RAID0

[ago]

That's testing for raid0, does not necessarily mean that you use raid0

[brian_rbk]

ok, any idea how id find out ? bios setup menu maybe?

there is definitely 2 hard drives 160gb each... and in windows it only shows up as the one .. c:\ with approx 290gb

It might be a raid0, but how does it work? is that a using windows software raid or a raid card?

Device manager lists under SCSI and RAID controllers ..
